Lenny Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Eyebrows received today, just got to spray them and once on they should give the front end a meaner look.. >:-D Getting there - image.jpg Looking good mate,One thing I'd advise before further investment though, Fit them and try close the bonnet, If all is well the go ahead. I purchased a set of E marked CSR light brows for the focus mk2.5 Paid to have them colour coded, removed the headlights and stuck them on, All was fantastic, Went to close the bonnet and..... No The stuck on brows were too fat to allow the bonnet close, So took them off and like a Granny I painted on the brows instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliverb Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yeah I was thinking that when just placing them on today that they seem really close to the bonnet , hopefully all will be fine :-) Thanks for the advice though Lenny! Did you paint yours yourself then ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you paint yours yourself then ? No I can't paint mate I'm us less,I had paid for them to be colour coded, Then when they didn't fit, I used the chrome headlights while the black headlights were in the body shop getting the brows painted on. So overall. Was out 100 quid between buying and spraying CSR Automotive headlight brows for them to be binned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have followed the existing line in the headlights haven't they where as these ones I have bought only cover half of the area yours do!If that makes sense lol !

Oliverb Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 not looking good...

Oliverb Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi all , Sorry i haven't posted much in a while. I have been on a little break in yarmouth just as a little warm up holiday before i head off to Tunisia in a week ;) Any way... Today i have managed to fit the eye brows on, making sure that the bonnet doesn't catch on them which was a big concern. after Lenny pointed out this could happen.. when i fitted the brows they did look very close when the bonnet was closed so i loosened the headlights and adjusted them slightly and now have a decent amount of room in between the bonnet and the brows "phewwww" they are fairly discrete, so i am actually pretty happy with them , not to in your face ! I am just waiting for the adhesive to dry, before i peel the tape off ... so here is what they look like at the moment :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focus-Jonny Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hmmmm I have mixed feelings on them, well done on the mod tho! As long as your happy with them tho! I just think they arnt flush enough looking i like clean lines, less is more bla bla! Lennys are nice as they look subtle if you know what i mean! But hey makes your car different/unique from the rest and thats always a plus in my book! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliverb Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I have just ordered the Rear Skirt... finally!!!After seeing my dad doing a cracking job of spraying the front skirt, i decided to just grab a skirt that i saw on eBay today... Its second hand, but no cracks just a few minor scuffs. so will get my dad to refurb that too! it was originally for sale on eBay for £140 + £10 postage... I managed to grab it getting £20 off .. so i thought that was fairly good. I now need to find the rear tow eye cover... anyone know where ? or seen any on eBay? front skirt is in the last stages of being finished so just being polished down... :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
